^FTT  In  presenting  the  two  addresses  by  Dean  George  A.  Damon  of 
^1  I  I  Throop  College  of  Technology,  made  before  the  Woman's 
^^J  I  Civic  League  during  the  season  of  1914-15,  our  sincere  desire 
.^J  is  to  secure  the  co-operation  of  everyone  in  making  a  per- 
manent contribution  to  the  future  of  Pasadena.  While  every- 
one readily  admits  that  Pasadena  has  made  a  wonderful  growth,  those 
of  us  who  live  here  realize  that  it  still  falls  short  of  being  an  ideal  city 
in  every  respect.  Perhaps  some  of  the  suggestions  in  this  pamphlet 
may  afford  a  practical  working  basis  for  rendering  more  lovely  a  com- 
munity which  Nature  has  so  generously  environed. 

We  join  with  Dean  Damon  in  the  request  that  these  plans,  as  out- 
lined only  in  a  preliminary  way,  be  "not  approved,  but  improved."  But 
above  all  things  we  bespeak  careful  consideration  and  not  hasty  judg- 
ment. Here  is  an  opportunity  to  show  our  appreciation  of  what  the  past 
has  done  for  us  by  suggesting  a  number  of  practical  ways  for  making 
Pasadena  a  more  beautiful  and  more  useful  city. 

Suggestions  will  be  most  effective  if  made  in  writing,  and  should 
be  addressed  to  Mrs.  F.  B.  Wetherby,  355  South  Madison  Avenue, 
Pasadena.  Unless  otherwise  requested,  these  communications  may  be 
made  public  through  the  local  press.  In  any  event,  without  attempting 
to  approve  or  disapprove  the  ideas  received,  we  shall  be  pleased  to  trans- 
mit them  to  the  City  Plan  Committee  of  the  Pasadena  Beautiful  Asso- 
ciation as  contributions  made  through  the  Woman's  Civic  League.

Civic  Ideals  Discussed  Around  the  Luncheon  Table

Hammers    and    Roses" 

Theme  of  Address  by  Dean  of  Tbroop 


EXTRACTS  FROM  PRESS  REPORTS 

Suggesting  that  the  union  depot  for  Pasadena,  in  connection  with  the  civic 
improvement  plan,  be  located  where  the  present  Southern  Pacific  depot  now 
stands,  George  A.  Damon,  Dean  of  Engineering,  Throop  College  of  Technology, 
presented  to  the  women  of  the  Civic  League  one  of  the  most  important  questions 
that  will  come  up   before   the  civic  bodies  this   winter. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Woman's  Civic  League  held  at  the  Casa  Grande 
hotel,  several  hundred  women  attended  the  initial  luncheon  of  the  third  year  of 
the   League. 

Mrs.  Robert  J.  Burdelte,  the  president,  gave  the  address  of  welcome  and 
also  introduced  the  two  speakers  of  the  afternoon.  Dean  Damon,  and  Con- 
gressman Charles  W.  Bell. 

In  his  presentation  of  plans  for  Pasadena's  beauty  spots  and  improvements. 
Dean  Damon  took  as  his  subject  "Hammers  and  Roses  "  and  said,  in  part: 

"I  believe  in  the  hammer,  for  it  can  be  used  to  build  up  as  well  as  to  knock 
down.  There  are  many  things  in  this  city  which  should  be  "knocked  "  down: 
the  unsightly  poles,  the  billboards,  the  real  estate  signs,  and  many  unused  barns 
which  depreciate  the  surrounding  neighborhoods. 

"1  wish  you  would  bring  your  hammers  over  our  way  and  knock  down  that 
Tournament  Park  fence  and  then  help  us  get  something  better  in  its  place.*  The 
price  of  one  float  in  our  annual  rose  parade  would  pay  for  a  rose  trellis  which 
would  be  a  joy  forever — and  this  is  the  best  example  of  a  combination  oi  'ham- 
mers and  roses'  that  I  know  of. 

"Then  that  old  wooden  Tournament  grandstand  must  be  knocked  down, 
but  to  build  a  permanent,  adequate,  and  beautiful  structure  in  its  place  will  cost 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars.       There  are  a  number  of  sites  in   this  vicinity  nill 

suitable  for  a  side-hill  stadium.     Before  we  use  our  hammers  on  the  present  stand  Stadium 

It  would  seem  wise  to  look  about  us  and  see  if  we  cannot  find  a  natural  setting 
for  our  most  beautiful  annual  Tournament  of  Roses  entertainment. 

"The  most  effective  way  I  know  to  use  a  hammer  at  the  present  lime  is  to 
build  flower  boxes  for   1915.     A  well-filled  flower  box  will  produce  the  greatest

with  an  ornamental  concrete  structure  which  is  being  covered  with  vines  and  roses. 


A  Side 


effect  for  the  minimum  expenditure.  Individually  and  collectively,  let  us 
encourage  the  flower  boxes — on  our  houses,  on  our  stores,  and  on  our  public 
buildings. 

"Mrs.  Damon  and  myself  are  usmg  our  little  hammers  in  the  buildmg  of 
a  home.  Several  years  ago  I  drew  up  a  little  sketch  and  suggested  that  a  house 
after  that  plan  would  be  a  joy.  Mrs.  Damon  looked  at  the  drawing — and  well, 
confidentially,  the  house  we  are  now  building  doesn't  resemble  ver>'  much  the 
original  idea — with  perhaps  the  exception  that  the  living  room  is  in  the  front  and 
the  kitchen  in  the  rear — which,  as  I  remember  it,  was  my  own  suggestion.  But 
we  love  our  little  home,  because  we  both  had  a  hand  in  its  making,  and  we 
reached  our  conclusions,  not  through  strife  and  argument,  but  by  means  of  co- 
operative study  and  harmonious  effort. 

"Now,  while  we  love  our  homes,  did  it  ever  strike  you  how  much  more 
important  it  is  to  have  our  city  a  thing  of  order  and  beauty?  When  we  entertain 
our  visitors  we  invite  them  to  our  homes,  of  course,  but  we  see  to  it  that  a  large 
part  of  their  time  with  us  is  devoted  to  'seeing  the  city.'  We  have  made  our 
homes  the  most  beautiful  in  the  world,  and  now  I  know  we  all  feel  like  devoting 
more  time  to  our  civic  improvement — otherwise  we  would  not  be  here  in  such 
numbers. 

The  City  "The  problem  of  the  city  is  upon  us,  and  our  first  duty  is  to  become  'city 

Problem  wise.'     You  have  all  noticed  the  progress  we  have  been  making  in  the  past  few 

months:  the  completion  of  the  beautiful  Colorado  Street  bridge,  and  the  building 
of  another  Arroyo  bridge  at  Huntington  Terrace;  the  erection  of  several  real  sky- 
scrapers in  our  business  center;  the  rapid  spread  of  ornamental  hghts  and  the 
removal  of  all  poles  and  wires  in  a  large  part  of  the  Oak  Knoll  district;  the  plunge 
and  park  which  has  been  named  Brookside,  after  Mrs.  Brooks,  the  donor  of  the 
plunge;  the  annexation  of  Linda  Vista;  the  starting  of  our  new  postoffice;  the 
opening  of  Neighborhood  House  on  California  street;  are  all  stepping  stones  on  our 
way  to  bigger  things.  Isn't  it  high  time  that  we  have  some  idea  of  where  we 
are  going? 

"Isn't  it  true  that  the  furniture  for  our  larger  city  house  is  being  delivered 
and  we  don't  know  where  to  put  it?  Our  Congressmen  sent  us  a  new  postoffice — 
all  the  way  from  Washington,  D.  C.  We  thank  them  for  it,  but  are  we  sure 
that  we  have  put  it  in  the  right  place?  You  know  things  like  that  are  'built-in 
furniture'  and  cannot  be  moved. 


Transpor- 
tation 
First 


"The  problem  of  a  city  plan  naturally  divides  itself  into  parts.  It  seems 
to  me  that  such  divisions  of  the  work  as  the  building  of  roads  and  the  carrying  of 
water  belong  to  the  men.  We  have  a  transportation  problem  that  must  be 
solved.  Why  not  ask  the  men  of  the  city  to  eliminate  the  grade  crossings,  to  pro- 
vide a  fitting  portal  to  the  city  in  the  way  of  a  union  depoit,  and  to  secure  the 
best  of  rapid  transit  between  the  important  centers  of  the  southland? 

"Now,  if  we  could  get  our  union  station  located  on  Colorado  Street,  about 
where  the  present  Sounthern  Pacific  station  stands  (and  it  can  be  located  there), 
then  what  about  the  rest  of  our  'city  plan?'  It  strikes  me  that  here  is  about 
where  the  good  taste  and  common  sense  of  our  women  come  in,  for  we  need  their 
good  judgment  in  the  planning  of  this  part  of  our  city  home. 


Some  Preliminary  Suggestions  for  a  ''Pasadena  Plan" 

Nute  thf  ili;igon;il   l»niiie\  aids  t<i  the   Inur  icjTiiers  of  the  cit.\',   crnssing   tile   other  ii:ltui"al 
axes   of  the   eity.   all   at   piaetieally    the  same   point,    thus  locathig    the    "heart"    of   the   city. 


The  City's  "Let   us   see  what  we  can  scheme  out   together.      On    the   north   we  have 

Backbone  Monk's  hill,  which  shouW  be  to  Pasadena  what  Rubidoux  is  to  Riverside.    Draw 

a  line  directly  south  and  it  will  strike  Raymond  hill.  On  the  west  we  have  Colo- 
rado Street  hill,  the  Elk's  Club  and  the  new  Colorado  Street  bridge,  leading  to 
Annandale  and  Eagle  Rock.  A  straight  line  directly  east  reaches  the  new  high 
school  and  runs  on  into  Lamanda  Park,  with  its  new  school  and  social  center. 
Now  let  us  examine  the  possibilities  of  diagonal  highways.  Lincoln  avenue  is 
already  a  type  of  this  kind  of  desirable  thoroughfare.  It  furnishes  direct  access  to 
our  city  from  beautiful  La  Canada  valley,  and  if  extended  in  a  straight  line  would 
provide  a  direct  connection  for  Oak  Knoll,  San  Marino,  Tournament  Park  and 
Throop  College.  The  other  possible  diagonal  could  start  at  the  Busch  gardens 
and  run  through  to  the  Country  Club,  Mount  Wilson  toll  road,  and  the  Foothill 
boulevard,  bringing  that  part  of  the  district  at  least  one  mile  nearer  the  Pasadena 
center. 

"Now,  all  these  main  axes  cross  at  one  point,  and  here  is  the  natural  loca- 
tion for  our  union  station  portal  and  our  civic  center. 

CJDJC  "Wouldn't  it  be  a  grand  idea  for  our  bigger  and  better  city  if  our  visitors 

Center  could  step  out  of  a  fitting  gateway  upon  a  view  of  an  orderly  municipal  square, 

backed  up  with  an  open  plaza  for  our  automobiles,  while  in  the  near  distance 
could  be  seen  an  auditorium,  a  library,  and  the  homes  of  numerous  social  organiza- 
tions, all  placed  in  a  setting  of  lawns,  flowers  and  trees?  Yet  this  preliminary 
plan  is  only  a  suggestion  of  possibilities.  We  have  here  every  natural  advantage 
to  make  the  most  efficient  and  beautiful  city  in  the  world,  but  as  the  city  stands 
today  It  breaks  every  rule  of  the  modern  art  of  city  planning. 

"Four  "Not  only  should  we  have  a  well-ordered  and  beautiful  community  center. 

Corners"  ''"'   throughout  the  city   should   be   frequent   neighborhood   centers.      The   recent 

competition  which  was  held  by  Throop  College  was  intended   to   develop   some 

inspiration  for  the  harmonious  design  of  buildings  and  open  spaces  at  the  numerous 

'Four  Corners.' 

"The  'Four  Corners'  competition  was  participated  in  by  a  number  of  archi- 
tects, landscape  architects,  and  artists  of  ability,  both  in  Southern  California  and 
elsewhere.  The  prizes  were  offered  with  the  idea  of  securing,  in  graphic,  under- 
standable form,  inspirations  for  something  better  than  the  usual  haphazard  growth 
in  neighborhood  center  developments.  It  was  hoped  that  in  this  way  interest 
might  be  awakened  m  the  question  of  the  intelligent,  effective,  and  artistic  arrange- 
ment of  these,  the  smallest  units  in  the  great  city  plan. 

"The  competitors  were  asked  to  assume  that  the  value  per  acre  of  the  land 
on  each  corner  of  the  neighborhood  centers  was  $12,500,  and  to  consider  the 
limit  of  expenditure  allowed  for  improvements  at  from  $35,000  to  $55,000  per 
corner.  Otherwise  they  were  given  full  latitude  to  their  inventiveness  and  origin- 
ality of  taste. 

"The  committee  of  award,  comprising  Architects  John  C.  Austin  and  Elmer 
Grey  of  Pasadena,  and  Albert  R.  Walker  of  Los  Angeles,  gave  the  first  prize 
of  $200  to  Paul  R.  Williams,  1530  E.  Twenty-first  street,  L^s  Angeles.  The 
second  prize  of  $100.00  went  to  the  Cook-Rankin- Wycoff  Company.  land-

The  Heart  of  Pasadena 


Some  of  the  features  of  this  tentative  de- 
sign for  anchoring  and  stablizing  Pasadena's 
"community  center"  are  as  follows: 

A  Union  Transportation  Terminal.  Tliis 
depot  will  serve  ;ill  of  tlic  present  and  the 
future  transcontinental  railroads,  ;is  well  ;is 
the  rajiid  transit  line  tit   T^os   An^^elfs. 

All  Railroad  Crossings  Eliminated.  The 
Snnta  Ke  tracks  are  to  be  i'eplace<l  by  a 
promenade    coTinecting'  the   parks. 

A  Civic  Center  directly  opposite  the  ti-ans- 
portatinn    portal. 


A  Plaza  for  the  parking  of  autoniobiles 
and   for   the  looping  of  auto  busses. 

A  New  Library  and  an  Auditorium  and 
Opera     House    set     in    park    surroundings. 

A    Social    Center    with    suitaldc    buildings. 

Broadway  extended  to  Summit  avenue. 
Holly  ;niii  Union  streets  combined  and  ex- 
tended til  HiMkinier.  New  boulevard  opened 
direcll\    siiiith    of   postoffice. 

Two  Boulevards  to  parallel  (\)lorado  street. 
Colorado   Street   widened  west  of  Broadway. 


Scholtes  of  Boston  were  given  the  third  prize  of  $50.00.  The  judges  in  an- 
nouncing their  award  stated  that  the  margin  of  choice  between  the  first  two 
sketches  was  slight. 

Prize  "The  design  winning  the  first  prize  shows  one  corner  devoted  to  a  trading 

Designs  center,  but  with  stores  set  back  from  the  street  and  entrances  grouped  in  an  open 

arcade,  making  it  possible  to  secure  display  space  without  using  the  sidewalks,  or 
unnecessarily  calling  attention  to  the  commercial  character  of  the  buildmg.  De- 
livery wagons  are  relegated  to  the  rear  through  two  driveways,  and  provision  is 
made  for  an  automobile  garage  and  market  stalls  in  the  back  of  the  lot. 

"Cn  the  corner  directly  opposite,  an  apartment  is  shown  of  the  same  general 
type  of  architecture.  The  pleasing  feature  of  this  part  of  the  design  is  the  'ho.Tie- 
like'  appearance  of  the  building,  with  its  front  lawn  and  ample  space  for  play- 
grounds and  flower  garden  in  the  rear.  The  'neighborhood  church'  and  'com- 
munity house'  upon  a  third  corner  suggests  possibilities  of  co-operation  m  religion 
and  recreation,  vv'hich  might  well  be  considered  in  every  neighborhood,  particularly 
in  the  outlying  districts. 

"Upon  the  fourth  corner,  the  design  shows  a  combination  of  a  small  park 
and  an  automobile  fire  engine  house.  Such  an  arrangem.ent,  it  is  explained,  would 
allow  the  firemen  to  spend  their  surplus  time  pleasantly  and  profitably  in  main- 
taining the  flowers  and  lawn  in  the  park. 

"The  second  prize  design  shows  the  'Four  Corners'  provided  with  a  neigh- 
borhood park;  a  community  building  for  lodges,  library  and  moving  pictures;  an 
apartment  house;  smd  a  group  of  stores  about  a  municipal  market.  The  features  of 
this  design  are  plenty  of  'open-air'  space  around  all  of  the  buildings,  the  con- 
venience of  the  apartment  arrangements,  and  the  possibility  of  building  stores  on 
the  'unit'  principal,  so  that  the  trading  center  can  be  dexeloped  as  the  surrounding 
district  builds  up. 

"The  third  prize  design  came  all  the  way  from  Boston  and  shows  a  treat- 
ment in  the  mission  type  of  architecture.  The  parking  space  is  not  confined  to  one 
corner,  but  is  distributed  over  the  entire  four  corners,  furnishing  a  pleasing  setting 
to  all  of  the  buildings.  The  stores  are  brought  nearer  to  the  street  than  the  apart- 
ments and  the  public  buildings,  but  the  arrangement  is  balanced  nicely  by  placing 
the  club  house  toward  the  front  of  its  lot  with  tennis  and  roque  courts  in  the  rear. 

"Already  this  idea  is  bearing  results,  for  there  are  at  least  three  places  where 
the  advantages  of  a  logical  arrangement  of  a  trading  center,  an  apartment,  a  club 
house,  a  neighborhood  church,  and  a  small  park  are  being  studied  seriously. 

The  "I   thoroughly  believe  in   the  power  of  the  neighborhood.      We   are   gomg 

Neiahbor-        'o  solve  many  of  our  civic  problems   by   going  back   to   the  people   through   the 
L       J  neighborhood   social   centers.      Pasadena's   only    Neighborhood    House,    built    by 

the  people  of  the  Neighborhood  Chuch,  was  dedicated  during  the  past  year 
and  already  has  a  fine  record.  We  will  all  do  well  to  study  its  methods 
that  our  part  of  the  community  may  profit,  for  neighborhood  loyalty  is  a  tool 
which  can  be  made  invaluable  in  working  out  our  future  civic  problems. 

"In  our  own  part  of  the  city  we  are  planning  to  have  an  old-fashioned 
'town  meeting,'  where  everybody  is  to  have  an  opportunity  of  contributing  to  a 
discussion  of  the  topic  'What  is  the  matter  with  our  end  of  town?'  Billboards, 
vacant  lots,  the  fence  around  Tournament   Park,  street  trees  and  spraying,  orna-

mental  lights  and  old  poles,  street  paving  and  the  opening  of  new  streets,  building 
restrictions,  and  many  other  topics  of  city  welfare  and  improvement  will  be 
covered  and  some  arrangements  made  to  insure  continued  interest  in  our  own 
particular  neighborhood. 

"What  we  are  planning  to  do  in  our  neighborhood  could  be  done  all  over 
the  city,  and  then  if  some  central  organization  could  conduct  a  survey  of  'wants' 
we  would  in  time  be  in  a  position  to  develop  a  continuous  and  constructive

of  Pasadena's  'wants:'

hilities  'Pasadena    Plan,'    so   that   all  our   forward   efforts   may    be   most    effectively   co- 

ordinated and  directed.  If  the  plans  discussed  today  have  in  them  any  appeal 
at  all,  then  they  should  be  taken  seriously  enough  to  either  'approve'  or  'improve' 
them,  and  in  their  preliminary  and  tentative  shape  they  certainly  are  not  ready  for 
final  approval.  Let  us  all  get  together  and  make  some  real  plans,  and  in  this  con- 
nection may  we  remember  the  words  of  Daniel  H.  Burnham,  the  architect  of  cities, 
who  once  faid: 

"  'Make  no  little  plans;  they  have  no  magic  to  stir  men's  blood  and  prob- 
ably themselves  will  not  be  realized.  Make  big  plans ;  aim  high  in  hope  and  work, 
remembering  that  a  noble  logical  diagram,  once  recorded,  will  never  die,  but  long 
after  we  are  gone  will  be  a  living  thing,  asserting  itself  with  ever  growing  insistency. 
Remember  that  our  sons  and  grandsons  are  going  to  do  things  that  will  stagger  us. 
Let  your  watchword  be  order,  and  your  beacon  beauty.'  "

Meeting  of  Woman's  Civic  League 

Hotel  Maryland,  March  1,  19  i 5 


At  the  meeting  of  the  Woman's  Civic  League  at  the  Maryland  Grill  on 
Monday,  noon,  March  1,  1915,  it  was  announced  that  the  Jury  of  Award  of 
the  Chicago  City  Club  had  awarded  a  prize  to  Dean  George  A.  Damon,  of 
Fhroop  College  of  Technology,  for  plans  submitted  in  their  Neighborhood  Center 
Competition. 

Dean  Damon  explained  that  after  the  openmg  meeting  of  the  Woman's  Civic 
League  on  October  5,  1914,  which  had  been  devoted  to  the  future  of  Pasadena, 
a  number  of  suggestions  had  been  made,  particularly  as  to  what  buildings  should 
be  included  in  an  educational  and  social  center  near  the  heart  of  the  city.  About 
that  time  a  competition  was  announced  by  the  City  Club  of  Chicago  offering 
substantial  cash  prizes  for  plans  for  a  "Neighborhood  Center."  Plans  were 
admissible  from  any  city  other  than  Chicago  and  for  main  centers  of  cities  not  large 
enough  to  justify  important  neighborhood   centers. 

As  a  matter  of  academic  interest.  Dean  Damon  had  suggested  to  one  of 
the  young  men  in  his  Los  Angeles  office — Mr.  Walter  L.  Newton,  a  graduate  of 
Throop  College  of  Technology,  that  it  wouldn't  be  a  bad  idea  to  submit  a  possible 
solution  of  part  of  the  Pasadena  problem  in  the  Chicago  competition.  The 
object  of  this  competition,  as  announced  by  the  Chxago  City  Club,  was  "to  bring 
before  the  public,  in  graphic  form,  the  practical  possibilities  of  enhancing  neigh- 
borhood life  in  our  cities  by  better,  and  especially,  better  grouped  buildings  and 
grounds  for  community  activities." 

Pasadena  ^   'he    preliminary    competition    called    for    a    general    plan    only,    the    ar- 

a  Prize  rangement  shown  by  the  illustration  was  sent  in  under  the  nom-de-plume  of  "Pasa- 

riT-  dena."     A  large  number  of  plans  were  received,  from  which  the  jury  of  award 

selected  a  limited  number  of  competitors  who  were  allowed  to  submit  birdseye 
and  perspective  views  of  their  proposed  arrangements.  The  plans  marked  "Pasa- 
dena "  were  selected  for  a  place  in  this  final  competition,  which  was  decided 
February  23rd.  Word  has  been  received  that  the  jury  has  divided  the  prize 
money  into  eight  equal  parts  and  has  awarded  one  of  these  prizes  to  the  "Prelim- 
inary Suggestions  for  a  Social  and  Educational  Center  for  Pasadena,"  sent 
in  by  Dean  Damon. 

Plan  Only  '"  speaking  of  this  plan.   Dean  Damon   said: 

Suaaestitie  "''  '*  ''™°*'  important  that  we  all  understand  that  the  proposed  plan  is  entirely 

preliminary.  Personally,  I  hope  that  the  plans  as  now  shown  will  never  be  carried 
out,  for  we  certainly  can  and  should  do  much  better.  But  no  improvement  of 
this  kind  can  ever  be  evolved  without  a  vast  amount  of  preliminary  study,  and  so 
this  sketch  is  intended  only  as  an  effort  to  discover  our  possibilities.  Let  us  get 
together  in  a  friendly,  free,  and  open  discussion,  and  crystallize  our  ideas  of  what 
we  actually  want  into  a  definite  consensus  of  opinion  which,  in  time,  will  become 
irresistible. 


"The  whole  conception  of  the  plan  is  based  upon  the  fundamental  idea 
of  removing  the  Santa  Fe  tracks  from  the  center  of  the  city.  At  the  present  time 
these  railroad  tracks  are  a  distinct  blight  upon  a  large  section  of  the  down  town 
district  which  is  contiguous  to  a  very  desirable  part  of  our  business  center. 

"This  question  of  the  elimination  of  the  railroad  was  definitely  discussed 
recently  with  President  E.  P.  Ripley  of  the  Santa  Fe  Railroad,  by  a  committee 
consisting  of  Mr.  T.  P.  Lukens,  president  of  the  Board  of  Trade;  Mr.  William 
S.  Kienholtz,  president  of  Pasadena  City  Beautiful ;  and  myself.  We  are  pleased 
to  report  that  Mr.  Ripley  pledged  himself,  in  a  public  interview,  to  use  his  best 
efforts  to  co-operate  with  any  plan  which  would  be  favored  by  Pasadena  to  rear- 
range the  tracks  so  as  to  remove  the  menace  of  the  grade  crossings  and  do  away 
with  the  depreciating  effect  of  the  smoke,  noise,  and  dust  of  the  railroad  in  our 
midst. 

"Granted,  then,  that  we  are  to  be  relieved  from  the  railroad  tracks,  how 
should  we  plan  to  rehabilitate  the  district  affected  so  as  to  get  the  benefit  of  every 
possible  advantage?  The  plan  and  the  birdseye  view  show  a  few  ideas  which 
have  been  gathered  from  a  number  of  sources. 

"Nearly  everything  included  in  the  proposed  group  has  an  actually  existing 
nucleus,  so  that  the  plan  may  be  said  to  be  the  outgrowth  of  natural  demands  and 
therefore  is  not  an  idle  dream  of  theoretical  conditions.

"The  new  library  located  on  a  knoll  of  the  present  Library  Park  would  fill 
a  pressing  need.  The  building  shown  could  be  built  a  section  at  a  time  on  the 
unit  principle.  The  present  library  might  be  fireproofed  and  rebuilt  into  a 
historical  museum. 

"One  of  our  prominent  citizens  has  suggested  that  a  permanent  horticultural 
exhibit  building  be  located  on  the  corner  of  Holly  street  and  Raymond  avenue  for 
the  purpose  of  a  continuous  display  of  the  best  productions  of  our  lath  houses  and 
gardens.

"In  the  plan,  Broadway  has  been  widened  and  extended  to  Summit  avenue 
by  cutting  through  the  east  end  of  the  present  park,  thus  turning  the  lumber  yard 
into  a  splendid  site  for  a  public  auditorium,  with  an  open  space  convenient  for  the 
parking  of  automobiles  both  day  and  evening.  Directly  behind  the  auditorium  and 
arranged  so  as  to  use  the  same  stage  is  an  uncovered  stadium  for  band  concerts, 
rallies,  celebrations,  etc.,  out  in  the  open  air.  What  a  grand  equipment  this  would 
give  Pasadena  for  conventions,  mass  meetings,  concerts,  operas,  and  pageants.

"The  Wilson  school,  which  is  a  wooden  structure,  must,  of  course,  be  re- 
moved within  a  comparatively  short  time.  Advantage  has  been  taken  of  this 
condition  to  arrange  an  educational  group  consisting  of  a  kindergarten,  grammar, 
intermediate,  and  vocational  schools,  surrounded  by  gardens  and  playgrounds,  and 
convenient  to  a  central  administration  building.  The  present  site  of  the  Wilson 
school  would  be  the  finest  kind  of  a  location  for  a  Young  Women's  Christian 
Association  building,  a  music  conservatory  and  other  similar  institutions.  The 
admirable  plant  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  is  provided  with  ad- 
ditional space  for  future  growth.

"Several  interesting  features  have  been  suggested  for  the  blocks  directly  west 
of  Library  Park.  The  Pacific  Electric  barns  have  been  removed  and  the  Catholic 
school  extended  over  this  area.  A  site  is  provided  for  a  labor  temple  replacing 
the  present  building  used  for  that  purpose. 

"Lincoln  avenue,  which  is  the  only  existing  diagonal  in  the  city,  is  extended 
through  the  Throop  Academy  grounds,  wrecking  machinery  hall  and  terminat- 
ing at  the  present  library  corner,  thus  leaving  a  liberal  setting  for  an  arts  and 
crafts  building  built  around  East  Hall,  which  is  now  vacant.  The  Stickney 
Memorial  building  is  retained  as  an  art  center." 

j4  Dean   Damon   reported   that  a  city  planning   committee  was  being   formed 

"Pasadena        ^^  ^^^  Pasadena  City  Beautiful  Association  to  act  as  a  clearing  house  for  ideas  for 

pi       ..  a  possible  "Pasadena  Plan."      He  suggested  that  the  members  of  the  Women's 

Civic  League  wnte  letters  containing  their  suggestions  to  Mrs.   F.   B.  Wetherby, 

of  their  city  plan  committee,  and  that  then  these  letters  be  transmitted  to  the  centra' 

committee  and  possibly  also  be  published  in  the  local  papers.

Germs  of 
Thought  on 
City 
Growth 


EDITORIAL.  PASADENA  STAR,  OCTOBER  6TH.   1914. 

First  the  mature  thought,  the  fixed  general  plan,  the  definite  purpose,  then 
the  action — a  very  wholesome  rule  in  the  conduct  of  individuals  as  well  a;  in 
the  building  and  proper  development  of  cities.  To  the  Woman's  Civic  League 
of  Pasadena  this  community  is  indebted  for  the  broadcasting  throughout  Pasa- 
dena of  some  very  wholesome,  and  not  at  all  deadly  thought-germs.  This 
city  wants  to  keep  on  growing — is  determined  to  do  so.  It  wants  to  grow 
and  develop  aright  and  should  do  so.  What  the  city  should  do  it  can  do, 
in  this  direction.  Dean  Damon  has  given  some  broad  tentative  hints.  You 
may  not  agree  with  the  plan  he  suggests.  This  may  not  be  the  time  to  fix  defi- 
nitely just  how  the  accessories  of  city-development  —  union  transportation- 
al  terminal,  elimination  of  railroad  crossings,  civic  center,  new  li- 
brary, social  center,  and  so  on — shall  b?  evolved.  This  is  the  lime  to  do  the 
basic  thinking,  not  to  co  the  definite  deciding.  The  decision  wll  come,  logically 
and  in  order,  after  the  thinking.  Dean  Damon  will  have  performed  a  notable 
public  service  if  his  thoughtful,  keen-minded  suggestions  and  observations  should 
set  this  people  to  thinking — thinking  hard  and  concertedly  and  concentratedly 
upon  this  great  problem  that  should  be  met  with  thorough  intelligence  and  broad- 
ness of  conception  of  all  that  is  involved. 

The  Star  commends  the  general  subject  which  has  been  brought  so 
graphically  before  the  people  as  worthy  the  most  serious  thought  of  all  Pasa- 
denans.  Let's  begin  thinking  it  out,  laying  the  foundation  for  practical  action  in 
due  time — action  along  such  lines  as  the  collective  wnll  and  sentiment  of  this 
people  may  dictate.

Woman's  Civic  League 

Of  Pasadena 

Die  Woman's  Civic  League  of  Pasadena,  organized  three  years  ago, 
continues  to  be  a  body  of  non-partisan,  patriotic  women  whose  aim  and  desire 
is  to  receive  reliable  information  concerning  matters  pertaining  to  the  better- 
ment of  the  city  to  the  end  that  their  pubhc  opinion  expressed  to  influence  pop- 
ular sentiment  may  be  based  on  sane  judgment.  We  are  not  organized  for 
the  purpose  of  doing  any  special  work.  Our  great  object  is  instruction  in 
citizenship.  We  love  our  city,  our  state  and  our  nation,  but  we  believe  that 
any  love  to  be  highly  effective  must  be  founded  on  knowledge. 

We  do  not  necessarily  endorse  the  sentiments  of  our  speakers,  we  aim  to 
get  their  point  of  view  and  we  reserve  judgment. 

TTie  League  is  most  democratic  in  spirit  and  not  an  "invitation  affair." 
Any  woman  holding  the  right  attitude  of  mind,  the  "right  attitude  of  mind"  being 
a  desire  to  be  informed,  is  at  liberty  to  make  application  for  membership. 

Meetings  will  be  held  regularly  on  the  first  Monday  of  each  month  from 
12  o'clock  until  2:00  p.  m.,  around  the  luncheon  table,  at  which  there  will 
be  a  half-hour  address,  and  occasionally  at  some  other  hour  to  listen  to  some 
especially  desired  speaker,  all  subjects  intended  to  give  information  on  interests 
affecting  the  community  and  individual  life. 

Dues  to  be  $2.00  annually,  beginning  with  October  1 .  Luncheon,  75 
cents  per  plate,  paid  for  only  when  ordered.  Members  may  bnng  guests  upon 
the  payment  of  the  luncheon  plate. 

All  women  in  Pasadena  desiring  information  concerning  those  things 
which  are  for  the  benefit  of  their  home,  their  children,  and  the  community, 
are  not  only  cordially  invited,  but  are  urged  to  unite  themselves  with  the 
Civic  League.
